Ruprect

Just wanted to add my two cents about the Prophecy. I've been riding an F1 for the last two years and everyone at my club has been trying to get me to convert to Radar. I tried the Radar several times but found it inconsistent and difficult to ski smoothly (I love the RS-1 boots though). When the Prophecy was finally released I ordered it right away. When I got it a couple weeks ago I was excited to try it. But really didn't know much about it other then John's review as there wasn't much more on the net about it.  My first impression: 1. It looks way cooler then it does in the pictures. I've had a lot of comments about the way it looks (I'm not one for vanity but for some reason ladies love it) 2. Holy crap does it turn 3. For the price it's a serious bargain 4. Why does Connelly refuse to use set screws on their fin boxes? So far I have skied several PBs and improved my consistency dramatically. I have nothing but good things to say about this ski. If you like a ski that turns hard, is predictable, stable, and is quick through the wakes you might want to give it a try. It's a 67" although I had been thinking of going to a 66" this year. I probably would have if it had come out by the time I got mine. That said I'm 5'11" and 160lbs and ski at 36mph. Given the way this ski turns I don't know why I would really need to go shorter. I've always ridden a 67" and don't see a need to change on this ski either. I'm running nearly stock numbers as well with bindings at 29.25".ÂÂÂ
